OT: electric shavers - bald head shaving

I'm Chad and I'm a bald cyclist. I shave my head in the shower every 2-3 days with a razor. The interweb is all over the pace on good, water proof electric shavers. Anyone have a strong opinion/experience with a really good one?

People love the Skull Shaver Pitbull. I tried it and found that I prefer using a razor.

I too have aerodynamic genetics!

electric if it's too long.
bic in the shower if not.

i've never liked the concept of anything electrical in anything wet.

just curious why it has to be in the shower? asking for a friend who is losing more and more hair every day and putting off the inevitable initial shave.

Easier to clean up.

If your hair is short (say a Zero on the buzz cut scale) you are only shaving what would amount to be stubble.

It's really easy to get your head hot (with hot water) to open the pores and then apply shave gel. You can clean your razor and yourself, and any additional mess can go down the drain.

I have this for anytime the hair gets long (read haven't shaved with the bic in the shower in over a week)

I don't add any attachments, and then just jump in the shower & shave with the bic right after.

A second hand mirror helps make sure you get the back of your noggin.

I use clippers on my scalp—Wahl Professional Designer cordless. Great product. Don’t turn on the water till you are done trimming

I'm a baldy and I've been using the Wahl Balder for years. If you shave your bonce every few days it does a great job and shaves very, very closely.
